Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay

One of original Flowers winemakers. Monstrous chard, round and rich and unabashedly exuding burnt toast aromas. I don't recommend it for breakfast, however.

Not ashamed of its opulence

Greg LaFollette, Winemaker has a terrific way of showing off the vineyard terroir perfectly. Fruit forward winemaking. Slight oak...not buttery, pear maybe even peach...some citrus too. Nice.

Greg calls this wine "sex in a bottle" because of its musky character he attributes to the vineyard. Balance of funk and freshness and love the texture.

Seems we like how they treat grape

Quite possibly the best Chardonnay you can drink in this price range!

Restrained fruit, not buttery chewy chardonnay

Always love this region! Can pick it out on a blind taste

To date, the best white wine I've ever had. Mashed pear, Macintosh Apple, banana, vanilla and cinnamon spice on the nose, much of the same on the palette, pinpoint acidity and a smooth round finish. Buttery and crisp cracker-like throughout but this quality does not take precedent over the rest of the voluptuous flavors of this wine.

Dang good domestic Chardonnay. Some interesting things happening in the background.
